*justin only cares about quebec & ontario. if he can continue to put the screws to alberta, he will consolidate his political power and attempt to restore these two provinces to a dominant economic position.

only logical that alberta consider separating from canada and start doing it's own deals with energy hungry countries like china & india. the price of oil will be back where it was in a while and in a post-notley world the west can be prosperous and strong.

i love the irony in the post... a barbie museum is considered a coup for justin's beloved quebec. well, they have much in common... barbie makes little girls hearts go pitty-pat... barbie has great hair... barbie loves a fashion show... barbie has air between her ears.

Impressive how powerful Justin is to have singlehandedly (and retroactively) lowered the world price for oil. And also he somehow prevented failed PM Harper from succeeding in securing one single new pipeline.

I guess JT is more powerful than even his strongest supporters believed!

Neo we both know Justin isn't doing any of these things - he just signs the orders with a blank stare when they are shoved under his pen for him.

This is Butts and the Laurentian oligarchs in the party making policy in a vacuum. - Butts wants us living in concrete caves, eating grass and burning dried cow poop to keep warm like the Neolithic lifestyle of his green dream utopia - so he will willing shut down our only viable wealth engine to do it (he's as mad as a shithouse rat you know-obsessed with this green impoverishment agenda)

- and the Liberal oligarchs have their capital invested in energy sectors and businesses which are in direct competition with Canadian oil and pipeline transit so with their boy signing the orders they are killing the competition (and damaging Canadians with profligate energy costs) so they can continue to clip their blue chip stock couponswhile the rest of us pay for it.
